Pangram CEO warns of 'dead internet theory' with AI-generated content
pangram ceo max spero says internet is 'dangerously close' to dead internet theory due to ai-generated text and images flooding platforms. this affects trust and authenticity online.
pangram, a startup developing ai detection tools, has raised $9 million and partnered with substack to identify ai-generated content in newsletters. ceo max spero believes the internet is 'dangerously close' to the dead internet theory, where ai-generated content dominates and erodes trust. spero thinks figuring out the level of ai involvement in content is more useful than simply labeling it ai or human. the stakes are high, especially with sensitive images and potential job displacement.
